Emergency Communications
Presented by Ian Harris
EMTEL Vice Chairman
Consultant to Research In Motion
5th SDO Emergency Services
Workshop - Vienna Oct 2008
1
What are
Emergency Telecommunications
 Emergency telecommunications covers all
communication services, including voice and nonvoice, data, location etc…
 The need for emergency telecommunications includes
many scenarios ranging from:
 a minor road traffic accident, for example
 to a major incident like a passenger train crash, a
terrorist incident, a natural disaster (e.g. an Earthquake,
Tsunami).
 Provision for emergency telecommunications is also
a major requirement in disaster situations

History of SC EMTEL
 EMTEL was previously OCG EMTEL:
ETSI Board created an ad hoc group for
coordination of Emergency
Telecommunication activities
 Then the group became Special Committee
(SC) EMTEL:
 It was created and approved by Board#50 in February
2005
 SC EMTEL reports directly to the ETSI Board

Main responsibilities of EMTEL
 Act as a key coordinator in getting requirements on
Emergency Communications, outside ETSI (i.e. from
different stakeholders) and inside ETSI (i.e. ETSI Bodies).
 Provide requirements on issues of network security,
network integrity, network behavior in emergency
situations, and emergency telecommunications needs in
networks
 Co-ordinate the ETSI positions on EMTEL related issues
 Be the Interface for emergency communications issues
 between ETSI groups
 and CEC/EFTA, NATO, ITU groups, the CEPT ERO and relevant
CEN and CENELEC committees

User requirements and scenarios
 The requirements are collected to ensure:
 Communication of citizens with authorities
 Communication from authorities to citizens
 Communication between authorities
 Communication amongst citizens
 Generally agreed categories to be considered in the
provision of emergency communications for
practically all types of scenario
 Including communications resilience and network
preparedness

Fixed or Mobile technology?
 Communication for: Citizen to Authority’, ‘Authority to
Citizen’ and ‘Citizen to Citizen’ for Voice and data service
from both wireless and wireline access (including
normadicity on fixed line users)
 Public broadcast services (often used also): in support of
‘Authority to Citizen’ communications
 Both fixed and mobile technologies: for ‘Authority to
Authority’ communications utilized by public safety
organizations in Europe already (same technologies as
those used for routine public safety telecommunications)
5th SDO Emergency Services
Workshop - Vienna Oct 2008
7
Private or Public networks?
 Telecommunication technologies used for emergency
telecommunications are often no different than those used
for routine public safety telecommunications
 Sharing of networks with non-public safety users is
commonplace
 Wireless technologies are likely to be combination of
narrowband, wideband and broadband, and nature of
application use public or private networks
 Public: GPRS and 2/3G
 Private: Wideband TEDS and Broadband PPDR
 Migration toward IP technologies the private access
mobility & nomadicity between public and private access
will be common
 A combination of both proprietary and ETSI
telecommunication technologies are often used

EMTEL matters in other ETSI Bodies
 Although SC EMTEL was formed to specifically
address public safety user requirements for
Emergency Telecommunications, other Technical
Bodies (TBs) within ETSI have been active for some
time:
 Activity co-operating between 3GPP and ETSI TISPAN
on the specification of a Mobile Location Positioning
protocol for the delivery to the Emergency Authority the
position of a caller to the Emergency Services
 ETSI TISPAN has approved the Emergency requirements
for NGN Systems
 The definition of a SIP interface from the NGN system
toward a PSAP may be under consideration, clarification
of the need for this so called peer-to-peer sip interface is
sought from the EU commission and PSAP Operators.
 Many standards related to EMTEL topics (more than
700) are developed by other ETSI Bodies i.e. 3GPP, TC
TISPAN, EP MESA, TC TETRA and TC ERM

Co-operation with external Bodies
 A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed
between ETSI and NENA (National Emergency
Number Association) end of 2005, involving mainly
EMTEL and TISPAN
 Regular liaisons are exchanged with TIA, ITU-T, NATO
 ETSI and NATO are co-sponsoring a Civil Military Cooperation (CIMIC) workshop in September 2006 to
look at how best provide communications at major
incident/disaster scenarios
 Informal liaison on USA initiatives – EAS (Emergency
Alert Service) and WARN (Warning Alert and
Response Network)

National Emergency Message Broadcast
Challenges
 Location specific
 Emergency message may only be relevant for a certain
area.
 Language
 Emergency message may need to be sent in different
languages in the same country for visitors and non
nationals. More of an authority challenge than technical.
 Timeliness
 Studies have shown that ‘seconds count’ for some
disasters such as Earthquakes and Tsunamis.
 Implications for transport technology and the receiving
device. Speed of delivery and recipient interaction.
 Message content
 May need to contain warning and instruction.
 Authentication
 Essential to avoid false / malicious alarms.
 Cost

Mobile Messaging Evolution

SMS (1990) (3GPP TS-23.040 Point to point messaging Short Message
Service)
 Text Messages (160 Characters) but concatenation allowed for.
 Binary Messages (140 Octets).
 Widely supported.
 EMS (2001) (defined in 3GPP TS 23.040)
SMS plus the following
 Vector Graphics (line drawing, simple animations), Polyphonics
(orchestral sounds).
 Not widely supported.
 CBS (1990) (3GPP TS 23.041 Point to Multipoint messaging Cell Broadcast
Service)
 Text messages up to 15 pages of 93 characters
 Capable of broadcasting messages to all mobiles nationally or all
mobiles in a specific geographic area down to a single cell.
 Periodic retransmission of specific broadcast message between 2
seconds and 32 minutes.
 Very little used - Power drain and MMI difficulties at the receiving mobile
and difficult business case justification.
 MMS (2004) (3GPP TS 23.140 Multi Media Messaging Service)
 Text ,Speech, Still Images, Video
 Service in it’s infancy.
 MBMS (2005) (3GPP TS 23.246 Multi-media Broadcasting / Multicast Service)
 Text, audio, picture, video
 Multicast requires subscription. Broadcast does not.
 May have similar problems to CBS
 Service in it’s infancy

Short Message Service (SMS)
 Well tried and tested service – almost 15 years commercial
operation.
 Store and Forward Service – virtually guarantees message delivery
once message has been sent to Short Message Service Centre
(SMS-SC).
 Not ideal for 2 way messaging applications where real time
messaging is a criteria. Fixed network message termination can
considerably improve real time performance.
 Reliable – but has characteristics that may give impression of
unreliability. Receiving mobile turned off or in poor radio coverage
is the main reason for message delivery delays heightening the
perception of poor performance and unreliability.
 Billing mechanism well established.
 Supported in virtually every mobile network and by virtually every
mobile.
 Virus free. No externally accessible executable environment
necessary in the mobile.
 Will often succeed in poor radio conditions where voice calls do
not.
 Biggest revenue earner next to speech.
 Cannot easily target mobiles in a specific area.
 Bulk SMS messaging for mobiles in a specific area is slow when
the number of targeted mobiles is large.

Retry Schedules for messages
 Operator and SMS-SC vendor specific.
 Vary according to error condition.
 Typical first retry 1 minute after initial attempt delivery failure.
Alert
 Triggers an SMS-SC into delivering a message if the receiving mobile
becomes available having been unavailable.
 Registration.
 Location update.
 Periodic location update timer in mobile.
Delivery reports
 Operator and SMS-SC vendor specific but not widely supported.
 Must have been requested by mobile sending the message.
Billing
 Operator specific.
 Delivery reports may be additionally charged for.
 Difficult to charge recipient directly as no SMS call records are generally
available in recipients network.
 Sender can be charged by own network and may be charged by
recipients network via own network.
Fixed Network connectivity
 Operator specific.

SMS Typical Performance – mobile to mobile
 Time between message sending from mobile to message received at
recipients mobile – typically 6 to 8 seconds. Only about 1 to 2
seconds typically of this is attributed to message storage in the
SMS-SC. See Note.
 Time between message sending from mobile to that mobile
receiving delivery confirmation – typically 10 to 12 seconds. See
Note.
 Typically 38% messages not delivered on first attempt – mainly due
to receiving mobile out of coverage or turned off). See Note.
 Typically 98% messages actually delivered.
 High probability of Submission success and Delivery success
because air occupancy is a few tens of milliseconds compared to
several tens of seconds or more for speech.
 Message duplication can occur.
NOTE: For messages sent to a fixed network termination rather than a
mobile, the delay figures above can be expected to be more than
halved. Additionally, the probability of messages delivered on the
first attempt can be expected to be 98%. Unlike the mobile to
mobile case, the ‘Message Sent’ indication (Ack to the Submit) at
the sending mobile phone can be taken to mean with a high degree
of confidence that the message actually reached its fixed network
destination.

27
SMS Security/Authentication
 Messages are encoded according to the same
encryption algorithm that is used for setting up and
controlling a mobile call.
 The Originating address cannot be easily spoofed
unless there are 2 mobiles that have been allocated
the number or there is poorly policed internet access
to an SMS-SC.
 Tapping into the radio path is possible but requires
sophisticated equipment and considerable technical
skills.
 Where security is an issue then end to end encryption
must be applied.
 Tracing source of Spam / unwanted messages is time
consuming and costly.
 Message could be authenticated by the recipient
examining the Originating address.
5th SDO Emergency Services
Workshop - Vienna Oct 2008
28
Cell Broadcast Service (CBS)
 Very few services commercially operable.
 Virtually guarantees message delivery once message has been sent to
the Cell Broadcast Centre (CBC).
 CBS messages are held in the CBC for a pre-defined period of time and
may be deleted or updated.
 CBS messages may be sent to all mobiles in a single cell, a group of
cells or nationwide.
 There is no acknowledgement mechanism from mobile phones to the
mobile network.
 Receipt of CBS messages by the mobile relies on the user having
enabled CBS on the mobile phone.
 Reliable – messages normally transmitted repeatedly to mobiles for a
period of time.
 Complex commercial and billing issues. Business case justification
difficult.
 CBS Capability inherent in many mobile networks infrastructure but not
enabled.
 Virus free. No externally accessible executable environment necessary
in the mobile.
 Will often succeed in poor radio conditions where voice calls do not.
 MMI on most mobile phones is not particularly user friendly and largely
un-developed.
 Power consumption concerns by mobile phone vendors - once receipt
of CBS is enabled.

Message Source (usually outside network operators domain)
 Content
 Geographical area
 Desired Repeat time.
 Desired Validity period
 Message identifier
CBC (Usually inside network operators domain)
 Stores CBS message until updated or deleted by Message Source
 Identifies which cells relate to geographic area desired by message
source
 Downloads CBS message once to appropriate BSC with Message ID
NOTE: Interface to Message source is CBC vendor specific and outside the
scope of 3GPP specifications.
BSC/BTS (co-located with a particular cell)
 Holds CBS message until deleted or updated by CBC
 Re-transmits CBS message at a period defined by CBC
Mobile Phone
 Requires CBS to be enabled on the mobile phone
 Requires the particular Message ID to be selected in order to display a
particular CBS message
 Display of CBS message and MMI is mobile phone vendor specific
NOTE. The following are essential.
 Network availability.
 Mobile registered.
 Good radio coverage.
5th SDO Emergency Services
Workshop - Vienna Oct 2008
31
CBS Typical Performance
 Periodic retransmission from the BTS of specific
broadcast message is between 2 seconds and 32
minutes.
 The fastest periodic transmission period will degrade
the more CBS messages require to be transmitted per
BSC/BTS.
 Network operators may have to degrade the ‘periods’ in
order to safeguard against BSC/BTS overload.
 For broadcast of national emergencies it may be
necessary for a network operator to suspend broadcast
of all other CBS messages in order to meet delivery
criteria.
5th SDO Emergency Services
Workshop - Vienna Oct 2008
32
CBS Security / Authentication
 Most network operators do not permit 3rd parties to access
the core mobile network protocol (CCITT No. 7 MAP) and so
the risk of downloading false messages to the BTS/BSC is
low. However, some network operators do allow 3rd party
access to CCITT No. 7 MAP.
 The CBC is normally within a network operators domain and
should police messages sent to it from a Message Source.
However, there is no guarantee that this is the case for all
network operators.
 The Message Source is normally outside the Network
operators domain and there may be many Message Sources
for various applications. Viz. weather, road traffic,
advertising, national emergency messages.
 End to end encryption is complex and would require
management in the mobile phone
 Tapping into the radio path is possible but requires
sophisticated equipment and considerable technical skills.
 Authentication of National Emergency messages is a
complex issue and there is no inherent aspect of CBS 3GPP
specifications that addresses authentication.
5th SDO Emergency Services
Workshop - Vienna Oct 2008
33
CBS Business Cases
 All mobiles capable of receiving CBS messages will do so
once enabled by the subscriber but with no opportunity for
the information provided to be charged to the subscriber for
the information received. CBS is a Broadcast service.
 Revenue can however be obtained in the following ways
 Teasers (get recipient to make a telephone call for
further information)
 Advertising
5th SDO Emergency Services

Summary
 There is not one mobile technology that would satisfy all the service
and performance expectations.
 Funding is a complex issue
 Utilising a currently available commercially viable service to
carry emergency messages can do so at little or no additional
cost – as is the case for emergency speech telephony calls.
 Developing a solution for the specific purpose of broadcasting
emergency messages is unlikely to progress.
 Perhaps a more pragmatic approach may be necessary
 Alerting by audible siren.
 Different siren sounds could indicate different emergencies but
would the public remember what each sound meant.
 Once Alerted - provide further information by a combination of
other currently available commercially viable means
• Access a web site via email
• Radio / TV
• Access an information site via SMS
